Social media commentator Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has criticized national broadcaster TVC after its presenters discussed him during a recent show.

In a video shared on his own page, the outspoken critic highlighted a segment where the TV hosts debated his response to chef Hilda Baci’s much-talked-about Jollof cookathon.

VeryDarkMan had earlier addressed claims that he was envious of the massive crowd Hilda attracted. He argued that Nigerians have a long-standing attachment to rice, describing it as a common “instrument of distraction.” He stressed that jealousy was not a factor for him, insisting he leads “the biggest movement in the country.” According to him, Hilda merely “did what girls do,” but he took issue with people “in corners applauding her.”

During the TVC discussion, one presenter said VeryDarkMan’s remarks could motivate people to strive for more, while another questioned why he feels the need to weigh in on every trending topic.

Firing back, VeryDarkMan boasted about the size and purpose of the gatherings he inspires, referencing protests he helped mobilize in Benue, Edo, and Anambra states.

“Crowds that go for enjoyment are different from crowds that go for war; I can’t compare the crowd I pull with what others pull,” he declared.

He captioned his video with a swipe at the station: “I guess we now know who is more influential. Clowns everything to force the VDM hate.”
